Haha, I drank whatever my doctor prescribed just to survive the exhaustion! Ensure is usually safe, but check with your doctor first because some variants have high sugar, and you don't want extra sleepless nights from sugar rushes!
Honestly, those branded health powders can be quite expensive, and with all the delivery and test costs coming up, we have to plan carefully. Ask your doctor if normal ghar ka khana like sattu or milk can give you the same nutrition cheaply.
At my hospital, the clinical nutritionist specifically told me which protein supplements are safe. It's always best to ask your hospital staff or gynac clearly during your next checkup so they can prescribe the right formula.
I recently delivered and my doctor actually prescribed a specific maternal nutrition powder instead of regular Ensure. It's better to get a recommendation from your doctor because they know what your body is lacking.
I felt so worried about my baby's weight in the second trimester and asked my doctor about protein drinks. She guided me on the right safe dosage. Always consult your doctor before starting any supplements, it gives so much peace of mind.
I wanted to maintain my fitness and protein intake, but I only took supplements after my doctor cleared them. If your doctor allows, you can have it along with light walks to stay active and healthy.
